Demand-side flexibility is rapidly emerging as a cornerstone of a resilient, renewable-ready electricity system-and the central focus of the Flexible Demand Management Industry (FDMI), which is dedicated to unlocking, optimising, and valuing flexible demand.
This Forum Session brings together four speakers representing key segments of the FDMI. Participants will gain insight into the diverse business models-from monetizing consumer flexibility and delivering value-added energy services to enabling peak and balancing management and facilitating participation in wholesale and ancillary markets. By connecting technology, regulation, and entrepreneurship through the perspectives of different FDMI players, the session aims to outline integrated strategies to unlock demand response as a powerful lever of the energy transition-maximizing system efficiency while creating tangible benefits for businesses and consumers alike.
The session will conclude with an open Q&A, inviting participants to engage directly with the presenters on the opportunities, challenges, and policy needs shaping the future of demand-side flexibility.
